As soon as I crossed the border, an overwhelming urge hit me–I wanted to turn back and bring that woman with me to my pack. Rationally, I knew I should have stayed put until I received the report, but my instincts were pushing me in the opposite direction. The pack she belonged to was her brother’s, and if my suspicions were correct, nothing would stop me from taking her and those children.

‘Am I really thinking about her again? Wasn’t it supposed to be just about those kids?‘ The thought unsettled me. ‘What if she comes back? What would I do then?‘ I shook my head, trying to clear my mind.

Every time I closed my eyes, her tear–streaked face surfaced in my thoughts. It dragged me back to the past–to the days when she had been my wife. I had hated her then. Every time I was near her, I never missed a chance to remind her of her so–called betrayal. Back then, her eyes would well up with tears, just like they had today. I had always convinced myself that she was just acting, putting on a show. But today… today, something felt different. It was as if, for the first time, she wasn’t lying.

So why couldn’t I believe it when she spoke of spending a night with another man? There was nothing to suggest that her twins were mine, no hints, no signs–so why couldn’t I simply dismiss this feeling in my gut?

A notification buzzed on my phone, snapping me out of my thoughts. It was a message from Finn, asking when I’d be back. I quickly replied, letting him know I was on my way.

As I was about to lock my phone, my gaze landed on my photo gallery. I opened it and stared at a simple yet heartwarming drawing–a couple with their children. I remembered Luna taking my phone after finishing her sketch, capturing a picture of it. She had told me she always struggled to complete the man’s face, but today, for some reason, she had finally managed to do it.

It felt deeply personal, as if she had drawn her own family. Her parents, her brother–they were all there. A pang of guilt crept into my chest. She had grown up without a father figure.

“I swear,” I muttered under my breath as I locked my phone, “if the report confirms what I think, I’ll bring you and your brother back with me. You deserve to have your father in your life. You won’t have to keep acting like you’re alone in this world.”

The drive from the border to my apartment took four hours, but the journey didn’t exhaust me. Instead, an odd sense of anticipation buzzed inside me, keeping me alert.

As soon as we arrived, I stepped out of the car and turned to my driver. “Take some rest,” I told him.

He blinked at me in shock, as if he had never heard such words from me before. Maybe he hadn’t.
